In my hometown of Hamburg, there are many spots that cyclists have reported countless times as dangerous. The third cyclist to die was killed by a truck driver at exactly such a spot. It has now been marked with red colour. Where is our collective outrage as human beings?

Kids deserve the freedom of mobility. Forced car dependency isn’t good for anyone, especially kids. Healthy cities support all modes for all ages.

Once again, Daily Mirror is the only newspaper with the right headline.

Just as 1989 invoked the French Revolution of 1789 and the May 4th movement of 1919.

It's neat how this happens across the US, possibly thousands of times per day, yet all of the moral outrage and concern is over ebikes, bikes on sidewalks, scooters, and pedestrians wearing headphones.

Here is the final tally of the number of articles in Hong Kong's English-language print media mentioning "Tiananmen" on June 4, 2026

From Teacher Li on Twitter, a large number of Chinese netizens created memes commemorating the Tiananmen Square Massacre with photos of fast food chicken nuggets, French fries, and ketchup from KFC and McDonald’s

“Every $1300 New York invested in new bike-lanes in 2015 provided benefits equivalent to 1 added year of life at full health over the lifetime of all city residents.” Among many other benefits, bike-lanes are a really smart public health investment. #CityMakingMath www.reuters.com/article/busi...

Another month over, another set of near-record-breaking climate events. 🌡️🌧️ We must slash climate pollution and accelerate the clean energy transition, to make sure our kids inherit a safer world tomorrow.

One day we arrived at one of our neighborhood playgrounds & one of my kids’ friends asked if they could get a ride in my bike, so I went around the little sidewalk loop at 3-4mph. They loved it! Now I end up giving rides to kids I don’t even know (w/ parent permission) every time we’re there. 😆

every time i see a white guy in their fifties radicalized by the twitter algorithm into racism and extremism i think about how it's a total failure of the youtube algorithm to instead radicalize him into home brewing, elaborate A/V setups, or DIY solar

105 yrs ago tonight and tomorrow, an organized and resentful White mob raged through the African-American neighborhood of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma—known as “Black Wall Street” for its wealth—burning and looting 35 city blocks, massacring up to 300 African-Americans, and leaving 10,000 homeless.

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

Women, parents with children, and cargo bikes are all good “indicator species” that your city is doing the right things to build a network that makes people feel safe getting around on a bike. Bravo to San Jose for continuing to execute on the Better Bike Plan 2025!

These men were confounded by the questions that every woman has had to confront at one time or another in their lives. Watch as men try to comprehend the questions that every woman has been asked in an interview. It truly is this ludicrous.

Imagine if the @albomp.bsky.social govt respected the majority of Australians who want more action & investment in care for our environment & climate action that isn't undone by ceaseless approvals of new/extensions of Coal & Gas But they don't So here we are marking 1 year of weekly protests‼️✊️✊️

#OtD 30 May 1925 British-led police in Shanghai massacred 12 workers and students supporting a strike at a Japanese-owned cotton mill. The working class responded with a massive strike until being broken the following year by Chinese nationalists stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1031...

This is very cool. This type of support for trans people should be the bare minimum. It's really a shame that Steyer is the only one in the California governor's race willing to stand up for trans people like this.

"If data centres were a country, they would be the second-largest destination for gas turbines ordered from Q1 2025 to Q1 2026" New IEA report confirms this isn't a normal industry. It is a fossil-fuelled, high-polluting heavy industry producing socially corrosive products at massive climate cost.

Hey, friends. We are often asked if The War on Cars is our full-time gig, and it is! There's no way we could do it at the level and frequency we want without devoting our days (and nights) to it. We are extremely grateful to everyone who helps make that a reality with a subscription.
